Act! 2012 Premium won't install

Act! Premium 2012 won't install. At the very beginning of the installation it keeps getting hung up on "Configuring Windows Installer" and hangs there for about a minute and then stop. I've restarted the computer a few times, tried to install multiple times and it won't work. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.

Sounds like the Windows Installer is corrupted. Are you able to install any other software?

Other thoughts:If you are installing with a download, try downloading a new copy of the installation file.

Try starting the installation using 'Run as administrator', to do this: right click on the setup.exe file and select 'Run as administrator'. Or disable UAC (through Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Accounts Control Settings > Never notify)
